Never again...
Date of Review: Jul 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would never recommend this car...it has had MANY recalls, it runs rough, is "cheap" inside and out.
Nothing but a thorn in my side. From the rattle in the ?? trunk that we can never find, to the cheap plastic interior that appears to be breaking at the seams..we have had nothing but misery with our 2002 Altima. My teenage son leaned up against the door, and left a dent!! We yelled at him, but now we realize that the car is so tinny and cheap, that it wasn't really his fault. We must carry containers of oil in the trunk as we never know when it will run dry! After having a routine oil/filter change, 3 weeks later it was near EMPTY. No..its not leaking..it just burns oil. Now, the AC is blowing warm..not good in 92'F South Florida...and that annoying "CHECK ENGINE" idiot lite is on...again. After a trip to the Nissan dealership and $200 later, they told us..."Oh..there was too much Freon.." Apparently, they were WRONG (HUGE surprise..)because on the way home after the supposed "repair". the lite blinked on again. Oh..and its still blowing warm air. Back again to Nissan,and altho we told them we just paid for a problem to be fixed, and it persists, they still charge $100 to put it on the "computer" (why didnt they do that in the FIRST place..) and found that coolant is leaking into the motor due to a faulty gasket.. I guess that explains why the beloved car has been STALLING and sputtering . I could go on and on...
